A sick man lying in his bed at night has a visit from God, God stays through the night keeping the sick man free from pain and harm, The man is not a bad man and appreciates the company although he is somewhat bemused by it all, Life for the sick man has not yet come to an end as the Good Lord has work for this man to do before he takes his final rest.

God came to visit me one night whilst I slept. He crept into my room, and entered my head. I knew not what  happened, nor what brought him there. I know only now I’m so glad that he cares. He lay that night by me whilst I fought for my life, and,quietly he  told me twas not the end of my life. I had a new purpose for living,  you see, and this purpose was simply giving for free.

I should give to my parents all the love in the world. To my partner in life, I should give him no strife. To the Law and the lawmakers, I should give my respect. To the poor and the hungry, I should surrender my bread,  to any enslaved man, his freedom I should seek. I should work to be happy, and happy to live!

    Beautiful poety at the end. I suspect God comes to many homes but too often people aren’t in or they don’t answer the door.
